Highlight of Business Operations:

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in the severity acquisition cost ratio from 14.9% to 18.1% was principally related to a multi-year professional liability excess of loss contract where we are holding a profit commission payable to the client and accrue interest on the amount withheld. We record this interest expense as an underwriting expense since it is directly related to this contract. Given that all the premiums on this contract were earned in prior periods, the interest expense caused the acquisition cost ratio for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to increase compared to the same period in 2010.

Additionally, if an event of default exists, as defined in the letter of credit facilities, Greenlight Re would be prohibited from paying dividends to its parent company. The Company was in compliance with all the covenants of each of these facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
